5 Reasons Why Playing Music On Your Auctions Is A Bummer Of
An Idea

There are 147 million registered users on eBay, and tens of
millions of those are desperately fighting to make sales on eBay.
When trying to make their auction listings as powerful as
possible, many sellers use ill-advised tactics. They think that
if they entertain buyers, they are more likely to get a sale. And
as the Internet becomes more multi-media, there are many
temptations thrown in our way, especially the use of sound.

Using background music or sounds, unless you're selling music,
is probably a bad idea. If you are going to include music or even
an audio product pitch, you are wise to include a command panel
that will allow the viewer to listen or not as she pleases. Do
not! Do not! Do not! set up your auction listing so that a
potential customer is greeted with loud music as soon as they
click on your page. Here's why:

1. Potential buyers are there to see your Gucci handbag or
Oakley sunglasses, not to be entertained. Making a buying
decision is serious business and you to do not want to take their
attention away from your merchandise. Instead, the entire focus
of your page should be directed at whatever you are selling.
Music is simply a distraction.

2. At this time, we cannot count on the quality of audio
technology. Buyers have different browsers, different connections
and possibly antiquated equipment. Even worse than unwanted music
is unwanted music that sounds terrible, that is scratchy, too
loud or of awful quality.

3. You will most likely not know what kind of music your
perspective buyer wants to hear. If you are selling to teens you
can be reasonably certain that they do not want to hear Big Band
music. But can you know whether they prefer Eminem or Travis
Twitt? Obviously not.

4. Consider the situation of your buyer. He might be prowling
eBay while he is at work and is not supposed to be surfing the
net. Sudden blaring music as the Vice-President of the company
walks by is the last thing he wants. Or a Mom might have just
gotten her colicky baby to sleep and when your music wakes up a
cranky infant you can be certain you will never get a sale from
that irate parent.

5. Audio files take longer to download than text. If your
prospective customer has dialup instead of a high-speed
connection, they will most likely be gone before your auction
page has even loaded.

Ignore the temptation to make your auctions 'more exciting',
and instead, concentrate every element on the page on your
merchandise. The last thing you want to do is distract a serious
buyer who might decide to purchase. Let them find their
entertainment elsewhere!
